Student's Science Project Experiments On Bullying Plants

CBS2's Ali Bauman has the latest on a unique science project that looked at the effect bullying a plant has on its life.

Realize that the same results happen when we bully our selves by looking in the mirror and condemning our body by saying things like “I look fat, I’m ugly, I look terrible, and etc”. Our bodies received these negative messages and begin to wilt. Self bullying is in my opinion the cause of many diseases like cancer, obesity and others. Friends, learn to love yourselves every day and only say good things to yourself in the mirror and all the day. This will please your body so much and just like the plant that received good vibes your body will flourish too; I promise!! 😊😊

Omg I feel so bad for that plant. She didn’t sign a release form to be subjected to bullying! Lol but i do really feel for it. I talk to my plants all the time. I even say goodnight 😴 🌙 and good morning ☀️

i talk to my plant babies and kiss their new lil leaves, and they’re so happy and thriving :)) i love them so much, i feel like a mama

What a strong, resilient, and beautiful child. I pray this experiment stays with her and she will remember to speak life to herself. oan: also, this is proof that it MATTERS who's close to you. They are either lifting you up or tearing you down.

Why this could actually be true:
Plants communicate through chemicals in the air.
Your attitude influences the hormones you produce and those are in your exhaled breath.
The plant thrives on positive hormones.

Masaru Emoto has done similar experiments with water and rice. He believed that human consciousness changes the molecular structure of water. He would play smoothing songs to one water and saw it's structure, which was nice and uniformed. Then it'd play negative words to it and the water would look chaotic. Likewise, he put the exact same containers of rice on the counter, with one having positive words affixed on it and the other negative words. The with negative words turned from white to black in a matter of days.

I mean the actual amazing part of this experiment is that the plant is demonstrating consciousness. A plant reacting to words and intentions proves that consciousness doesn’t come from the a human brain it exists in all living things. Consciousness may even be intrinsic property of matter itself, and if that’s true, all consciousness is connected because all matter comes from a singularity.

I love this! Everyone go buy two plants and documents the findings lets field review the hell out of this!!

All living things have a soul. Verbal abuse projects negative energy in the space around the soul, which can harm it.

[noahh]

If plants are mainly water, like us. Then imagine what words do to us, only way it can feel what we are saying is through vibrations and it picks up the vibration through the water inside of it.

Same thing happens to us. The water in our body reacts to kindness or otherwise 😊

Proverbs 18:21 (NASB)

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit."

[marykissel]

What an amazing Wow. So it does help to talk to your plants !

[jeannettenett]

Awww I really think it's TRUE I was told to speak to your plants so i believe this

[christinemcdonald]

Samantha, you are a rock star and a great role model for others!

Myth Busters has shown it is plausible that playing heavy death metal music with lyrics filled with cussing, death, suffering, & destruction is extremely good for plants.

[arandomguy]

To be clear, for anyone interested the experiment is misleading; the plants aren't dying due to the verbal abuse, but due to the types of sounds.

[lilblondiebear]

Plot twist: the teacher ensured the plant that was "bullied" just didn't get water
